Spring Break is has sprung which has inspired a lot of fast, simple dinners that won't get in the way of our fun....

Sunday we’re planning a family get together and cook-out. Iron chef Allan has mastered the Bobby Flay way to grill a whole chicken, which is a beautiful beast. By grilling the chicken this way, it cooks evenly and produces a gorgeous, crispy crust. Basically, you remove the backbone of the whole chicken and then butterfly it. Here’s a video where Bobby Flay demonstrates his butterfly no-backbone grilled chicken method. Easter is this Sunday and Iron Chef Allan and I haven’t even planned the meal yet. We love lamb on Easter, so that will probably be the main course. Then, for side dishes, it will probably be the usual sides such as mashed potatoes, creamed spinach and a large salad. Traditional foods aren’t the healthiest but they are comforting and a welcomed break and cheat from healthy eating.
